On and off, I've tended to read quite a bit. So, I thought I'd put up some reviews of books as I read them. In time, I may go back and add reviews of some of the books I read in the past. Not massively exciting, but I suppose it may be of interest to someone, somewhere (perhaps).
Liar's Poker - Michael Lewis
Having read FIASCO, I think I've become addicted to pulpy stories of traders lives, which generally combine useful-for-work odds-and-ends with jaw-dropping stories of insanity and stupidity. This is another such book, but not quite as fun as FIASCO. The complex derivatives are replaced with plain bonds plus a few more anecdotes. It's not quite as vicious, but it's still quite readable.
